MARSHAL SOUL'I"S VISIT TO THE AIANUFACTUIZING DISTRICTS. (FROM OCR OWN REPORTER.) We now proceed to lay before our readers a detailed report of the progress of Marshal Sault th rong h t h e great manufac turing and comrnercLl toivns of Binaninahaaa, Manchester, and Liverp')ol. His Excellency and suitc, consisting. of his von, the Marquis cf Dalmatia, his son-in-law, the Marquis de !Mornay, Charles Munby, Esq., of London, who conducted the arrangements of his route, and acted as his interpreter, 'Colonel Naudet, Le Chef d'Eseadren de Tinan, Marquis de Massaro, Le Dec de Vicenza. Le Compte de Praslin, Le Compte de Tournon, M. de Franqueville, private secretary, Admiral Naoier, Colonel Napier, and Mr. Mackintosh, left London on Friday morning, at a quarter 'past four, in a special train provided by the Directors of the London add Birming ham Railway Company, emir:partied by Mr. Prcvat, one of the Directors, Mr. Cree'.% secretary to the Company, R. Stevenson, the engineer, Mr. - Hardwick, the architect, Alta Fox, the re°,',Clent engineer, and Mr. Baxter, by • tvhorn the arrangements on the line were conducted in a manner which calted forth the marked approbation of the distinguished ferciiaaters for -whom, they were made. ' trip to Deabigh Hall, a distance of forty-eight miles, 'was acenniplished in little more than an hour and a half, and from this point post-horses were provided by Mr. Horne, the coach proprietor, at short stages to Rugby, where the distin gnished atrargers arrived about nine o'clock. After partaking 43 f hmakfast at the - Railway station here, several of the re pnetable inhabitants of the neighbourhood were presented to Marshal Soult, and the party proceeded on their way let Birmingham, at which place they arrived about half- Past eleven o'clock, being escorted to this point by Air. 4-lardiman Earle, ono of the Directors of the Grand Junction Railway Company, the train condncted by Mr. Berry, the engineer. Throughout the whole of this route the Marshal was received by the people with the greatest enthuiasm—the railway, more particularly at the several sta tions, was lined with the inhabitants of the surrourd;ng dis. trict s , who poured rat is thottands to do honour t o their :distinguished vis'Aor, ail appearing anxious to manifest their respect for Pan Hero of France, who, after ha:ing manfully fought tha battles of his country, come as a guest to throw h inoelf upon the kindness and hospitality of the nation which liCver yet turned its back upon a friend or an enemy. After a few minutes delay the party started in another spe cial train for 'Manchester, having halted a short time on their ,rout e to afford the Marshal an opportunity ef viewing the hiannificient viaduct. The train reached the Manchester station at half-past two o'clock, where i tie wo have already stated, his Excellency Was revived hyl. Brown, Es q, Boroughrecve, and J.

There being no police force in . attendance a scene of some bonfusion took place on the arrival of the train, from the great hoxiety of the assembled crowds to see the distinguished visitora. • Order having at length in some measure restored, and a iopgSa g e opened through the crowd, Col. Wemyss conducted the Marshal front the railway to the Borougbreeve's carriage, and ether visitors having taken their seats in the carriages, the Cortege left the station a few minutes before three o'clock, amidst the loud and reiterated cheers of an immense assem- Viage of persons. His Excellency who wore a blue military frock coat, with the ribbon, star, an d cross cf the Legion .of _Honour at his breast, took off his hat and bowed repeatedly to the multitude. Amongit the carriages in the procession we noticed those of • the boroughreove and constables, three in number, for the ac bommodation of the. Marshal and his suite; and the private Vsarriages of Richa r d H o l e , E sq ., T.

M'Connell and Co., which they entered by Cotton smeet, and having inspected the various processes o; preparing and spinning cotton, Mr. H. M‘Connel exp . these to the p ar ty, th e y quitted the establishment by Henry-street, and proceeded by Newton-street, Port-street, R. and Portland ireet-, to the works of Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, and t'aulkimr-street, where the gallant Marshal was received with a palate cf cannon. The party here divided into three groups, ikbd were shown through the various departments of the works by Mr. Thos. Sharp, M r . J o h n Sharp,' and Mr. Thos. Sharp, Jun. The visitors, on leaving, were again saluted with a dis eharge of cannon ; and they next proceeded to another este hlisninent of the same firm (the Atlas Works), near Oxford !toad, where lecernotive engines are in process of construction. The various preesses.were here minutely explained to the visitors, who appeared to examine every department with the . greatest accuracy and attention. They also inspected the I s a ii r i g ,- e rn h il o l, iler shed and i ron store, and thence proceeded to the of Messrs. Royle and Crompton, where they saw the various p ro cesses of throwing silk. After taking a hasty glance through the mill, the next object of attraction visited was the extensive mill of the Oxford Road Twit Co. where they wit nessed the process of power-loom weaving, &c. They then visited the card manufactory and works of Mr. J. C. Dyer and his successors, in Store-street. Here the party spent some time, inspecting the various chaiges undergone by the mmire, and the machinery by w hi c h ever y o p erat i on is per f orme d the manufacture of cards.

He addressed the company in French, apologizing for not being able to express his feelings in their language. The Marshal spoke as follows :—J'acceptc au nom du Roi dca Francais le toast qui vient d'etre porte pour lui, j'accepte - aussi pour la France cnnere les voeux qui ont ete exprimes a son egard. Oui, sans dente le Rol et le France partagcnt les nobles sentimens quo M. le President de cette assemblec a si hien exprimes; et pour men compte je les partage aussi.

Je remercie M. le President de m'evoir fourni Poccasieu de les exprirner comme je les sans. The Marshal resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The following is a translation of what the Marshal said : " I answer, in the name of the King of the French, the toast which has been given for him, and I answer also for all France the wishes which have been expressed in regard to it. Un doubtedly his Majesty and all France share the noble senti ments that the Chairman of this meeting has so well expressed, and I can say for myself that I share them also. Sent on a solemn embassy cennected with the Coronation of the Queen of England, I have had several opportunities of expressing my desires, that in future, and perpetually, there may be sincere friendship between France and England, that the best under standing may pervade their mutual relations which henceforward cannot be other than poeceful. May there be no more rivalry be tweet these two countries than that of the arts and industry, and no more causes of enmity. As long as our teso countries remain united, the peace of the world will be assured. May our common efforts, therefore, tend uninterruptedly to cement and extend those mutualrelations which are now e - nablished. The things which I have seen since I have been in the midst of the in teresting and industrious population of Manchester, and the manifestations of which I have been the object convince me, and are - even a guarantee to me, that they echo my wishes. I shall be happy, on my return to my country, to be able to give an account of what I have seen and heard, and of the sen timents which have been expressed to me ; and my turn, I am happy to repeat to this meeting that these sentiments arc common to France. Mr. Chairman I thank you for having given me an opportunity to express them as I feel them." The CHAIRLIAN-Gentlemen, I hope on the present occa sion that ail will fill to the brim. • It is easier to conceive than to express the gratification we all feel at the honour conferred udari us by the illustrious individual who has this day visited our town—( Loud cheers)---an individual whose name and whose brilliant achievements-will long live in the pages of his tory, and who has bzen selected by his Sovereign to represent the Court of France, and by his presence add honour to the Coronation of our youthful Queen.—( Applause.) I hope and trust that the reception his Excellency has met with from people of every mole in the British Empire will be accepted by him as an earnest of our appreciation of the hono ur d one us by the King of the French, and that it will tend to the promo tion of that friendly intercourse. between the two countries which must be advantageous to both.—( Hear; and cheers.) The name of our illustrious guest has long been familiar to British ears, but this is the firer occasion on which we have hod the honour to r •teeive him within the walls of our town. In discharging his duty to his country, our distinguished and gallant guest was for many years cur determined and formi dable foe, but now we have the gratification of receiving, and hailing him as a v i s it or an d f r i en d, and of offering to him all we can tender—a hearty British welcome.—( Loud and con tinued cheering ) His Excellency, during his shun visit to this country, has manifested a most anxious desire to view and become acquainted with the nature of our various public esta blishments and institutions, and he has now come to see the manufacturing and mechanical industry of these districts. It must be regretted by all that the fleeting nature of his visit renders the number of the institutions he can examine neces sarily small. But notwithstanding this, let us indulge th e h o p e that the impressio ns ma d e on his Excellency's mind during his short visit to these two great sources ofour national wealth will be such as to induce him, in dieliargir;g the functions of his high station, to exert himself most strenuously for the removal of those restrictions upon trade and commerce which have hitherto kept us asunder.—( Vehement cheering.) Iris Ex cellency by his exertions can do much to counteract these obnoxious restrictions, and the result cannot fail to be to benefit and promote the prosperity of both countries and the happi ness of the people at large.—(Great applause.) With all the respect that is due to the rank; the character, and the talents of our illustrious guest, I will give you, gentlemen, " The health of his Excellency Marshal Sault, Duke of Dal matia—may his life be long, and the remainder of his days happy." (Tilt: toast' was drank with loud and reiterated cheer ing, all the company standing.) His EXCELLENCY then rose, evidently much affected by the manner in which the announcement of his name had been re- ccived. The recollection of the honour they had that day conferred upon him was deeply engraven on his heart. Ile would accept the challenge of their President to do all in his power to advocate the prosperity of commerce and the esta blishment of those principles by which the commercial and trading interests of both countries might be best promoted.— (Great cheering.) He admired their industry—he admired their perseverance—the vast resources which they had called forth, and the powerful effects which they had produced. He would return to his own country deeply impressed with their commercial greatness, and confirmed in his convictions that the establishment of friendly relations was the best means of ensuring the happiness and prosperity of both countries.— ( Cheers.) In conclusion he would beg leave to drink " Health to the English people—success to commerce and prosperity to Manchester."—( Vehement applause. ) The CHAIRMAN said they had been honoured by the Com pany of several other distinguished individuals who had been in attendance at 4he coronation of her Majesty. Among these were two illustrious personages, nearly and dearly connected with his Excellency—be meant the Marquis of Dalmatia and the Marquisde Mornay, and he begged to give their healths, with feelings of the highest respect. and with a due sen s e o f the and the other distinguish e d s t rangers h a d h enetrthey conferred upon by being present on that occasion. The Marquis of DALMATIA returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him in drinking his health, and spoke as fol lows : _ _ " Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen-_I must return you my best thanks for the kind manner in which you have received us, and more particularly for the honour you have conferred upon me in drinking my health. At the same time, I cannot but recollect that I have already been in this highly interesting country, and bad the honour to be acquainted with some of you. I came then as a young man, to complete my knowledge, and to take a view of the wealth and power of this great na tion. Since that time, Gentlemen, I have seen many coun- tries and many things ; I have witnessed many important events—l am become-a Member of the Legislature in my own country, and I come now attain into this country to ascertain how many changes, how many improvements the genius of men and the spirit of an enlightened people can effect. I Mlle to ascertain what the principles of sound political and commercial liberty can produce,—( Much cheering.) All this I have found in this country, and I hope you will allow me once more to tender you my most sincere thanks for this new proof you have given me that those principles I am alluding to, that are mine and that are yours. —( Cheers.) Gentlemen, these are not merely words, but that they are true, that they are the principles of the soundest policy, and that they will last as long as societies and mankind will endure. I beg to drink all your healtbs."—( Applause.) The Noble Marquis delivered his address with an case and fluency which delighted all parties. The Marquis Ds NIORNAY returned thanks in French. The rapidity with which he spoke rendered it impossible for us to catch more than a few isolated passages. We under stood him to express how deeply he had been affected by the cordial and hospitable welcome he and his friends had received in England, and his desire to promote by every means in his power the good feeling which at present existed between the two nations. The Marquis concluded by proposing the health of the Chairman, which was received with much cheering. , Tint CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks; and then observed that one of the strongest feelings implanted in the human mind was the love of country. Whatever place man claimed as his birth- place was always uppermost in his mind. In the _ . present instance they had assembled around that table indi viduals of many nations, and he would therefore propose in that comprehensive sense that it might be acceptable to every individual as applicable to himself, the toast of " Our country."—( Cheers.) - Shortly afterwards Marshal SCULT rose, and addressed the company as it was subsequently repeated in English by the Marquis de Dalmatia, that the stste of his health and his many other engagements compelled him reluctantly to retire. He begged once more, before he left the room, to express his deep sense of the kind and cordial reception he had met with. The distinguished visitors then withdrew, but before going to their hotel they visited the warehouse of Messrs. Townend and Hickson, Market-street, for the purpose of seeing the ef fect of gas-light in a large establishment. After viewing the several ware-rooms, attended by the proprietors, the Marshal and his friends about eleven o'clock proceeded to their hotel. His Excellency left Manchester on Saturday morning about half-past six o'clock, in a special train provided by the Direct ors, and reached Liverpool at a few minutes past seven. The Marshal arrived much earlier than was anticipated, and with the exception of the Mayor, Wrn. Rathbone, Esq„ and some of the Members of the Corporation, there were comparatively few persons at the station. The Marshal declined the use of the Mayor's carriage, and walked to the Hotel, which he rcachedalmost unobserved. It was proposed to place a guard of honour at his Hotel, hut this his Excellency begged to de cline the offer. After breakfasting at the Adelphi Hotel, the Marshal, accompanied by the Mayor, and followed by his suite, proceeded on foot to St. John's Market, which appeared to call forth the warm admiration of the visitors, from its great extent and the neatness and cleanliness observable throughout. Crossing out by Great Charlotte-street, the visitors then pro .ceedad through the Fish Market, which exhibited a plentiful supply of that article. The Marshal then returned to his bOici, and the news of his having rapidly spread, several thousand persons were asr:emtiled en his return, who greeted hint with loud and hearty cheers. The Military, Naval, and Municip a l au th or iti es , an d many o f the influential and respect able inhabitants of the town then waited upon the Marshal, and were presented in due form by Mr. Manby, At ten THE S[TN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 23, 1838 o'clock,'the distinguished strangers proceeded through Church street, Lord. street, &c., to the Quays, the Marshal and some of his friends being accommodated with seats in the Mayor's state carriage, and the party embarked at St. George's Quay, on board her Majesty's steam-packet Urgent. A large party of friends had been invited IT the Mayor to meet his Excel lency on board, but many were, we understand, disappointed from the promptness of the old warrior's movements. Among those present, we observed Col. Campbell, Commandant of the district, Capt. Townley, IL N., Capt. Chappell, Capt. Parsons, Messrs. Currie, Erle, Barclay, Hornby, Holmes, Crawford Logan, Captain Tudor, Dr. Freckicton, Messrs. Aspinall, Taist, and a great number of l; die:. The steamer, which is one of the largest of her class, left the quay amidst the loudest cheers from the immens e multi tudes, who crowded every available spot. All the shipping in the docks and river were decorated w ith innumerable flags and pennants, the rigging being manned with the seamen; bands of music were stationed in various quarters, playing the National Anthem as the steamer passed them on her course; a variety of pleasure-beats and smaller steamers, containing parties of the respectable inhabitants of the town, dotted the surface of the water—a bright sun over head and the varied and undulating scenery of the Cheshire coast on the opposite side of the river, with the mansions of the neighbouring gentry peeping out here and there through the umbrageous summer foilage—formed, on the whole, as interesting and attractive a scene as could well he presented to the eyes of the admiring strangers, who were lavish in th e i r encom i ums : on i ts beauty and magnificence. The steamer passed along the quays to mouth of the river, every object of interest being pointed out by the Mayor. On arriving opposite the light-house and battery, the steamer went about and proceeded up the river along the Cheshire shore, the party finally landing at the quay where they had embarked. The carriages were here in waiting, and the distinguished visitors were conveyed in them to the Town-hall, where they partook of luncheon in the Mayor's private apartments. - After viewing the magnificent suit 3 of rooms up stairs the Marshal and hiS friends proceeded to the Exchange reading rooms, at the back of the Town- ' hall. The Marshalstopped for some moments in the cent re of the sq uare opposite the monument erected to the memory of Nelson, before which he reverently uncovered his head and bowed. This incident produced a tremendous burst of (dicer. ing. Here also his Excellency was received by the mercan tile end commercial community of the town with similar de monstrations of respect and esteem. From thence the party went on 'Change, and again re-entering their caning - es, pro ceeded through' Howard-street to the Graving Docks, and along the line of quays and warehouses to the Northern point of Clarence Deck; thence to the Custom-house and along the quays to the extreme Southern terminus. The extent of the dock and shipping appeared to excite tl.e astonishment and admiration of the Marshal and his suite. Ater viewing the `Wapping Railway Tunnel, St. James's Cemetery, the Me. chanies'lnstitute, St. Luke's Church, the Fever Wards at Mount Pleasant, Workhouse, Infirmary, Blind Asylum,. Lime-street Railway Station, &e., &e. the company returned about five o'clock to th e Ad e l p hi Hotel, and the Marshal im mediately retired to take some repose after the labours of the day. At seven o'clock, his Excellency and suite proceeded to the Townhall, where a very sumptuous banquet was prepsred by the Mayor fir a select party of friends, to the number of about sixty, including Lord Molyneux and friends, Lord Derby, the Members of the Town Council, the Military and Naval• Officers stationed . et Liverpool, and several eminent mercantile men. In the course of the evening some excellent speeches were made, and Marshal Soult, on his health being given, addressed the company in a very animated manner, expressing the de light he experienced at witne,siing the vast commercial re sources of their - town, and his gr4titude at the cordial and hearty welcome he had rece'ved. We shall give a full report of the proceedings in our next. In the evening a grand soiree was given by the Laiy iiltiyeress to a very large party, at the town-hall. The staircase, soloons, and suite of draping-rooms, which were brilliantly lighted up and decorated with banners and rare exotics, were completely filled, and a military band stationed in the orches- tra, played a variety of fashionable airs during the evening. At I 0 o'clock, the doors of the dining hall were thrown open, and the Mayor accompanied by his illustrious and distinguished visitcrs, precceded through the suite of rooms, when several presentations took place. Tea, coffee, ices, fruits, and every variety of refreshments were provided, and at twelve o'clock his Excellency and suite took their departure, having won golden opinions from all parties, by the courteous and dignified manner in which they had gone through the varied and rather fatiguing business and ceremonies of the day. At half-past twelve o'clock, the carriages were again in attendance at the Adelphi Hotel, and the Marshal with several of his suite, there not being sufficient accommodation on board for all, pro ceeded to the Pier Head, and embarked on beard the Avon steamer, which immediately sailed .for the Menai Straits. His Excellency, it is understood, after viewing the stupendous bridge across the Straits, will return between two and three o'clock in the afternoon to Liverpool, and proceed immediately by the railway to Birmingham, where it is his intention to spend some hours. His return to London is fixed for Tuesday morning. Throughout the whole of his route his Excellency was much struck with the varied and beautiful scenery of the country. The rapidly changing panorama of large manufac turing towns, richly wooded domain e, pasture land covered with flocks, waiving fields of grain teeming with plenty, and here and there the taper paint of some tall factory chimney, pouring out its volumes of emoke across the landscape, were presented in quick succession, and - deeply impressed the Marshal and his friends with the extent and productiveness of the agricultural and commercial wealth, and resources of the Epglish people. Th'Cre4is one incident, which is so honourable to the nice sense of.delicaey of his Excellency, that we cannot forbear to mention it. During the excursion on the River on Saturday it was proposed by the Mayor to land his Excellency at the forts far the purpose of shewing him their relative stre ng h and internal arrangements, but he at once begged to decline the invitation. _ _ _ On the whole, we doubt not that the visit of these illustrious Frenchmen will tend more to cement the bond of amity and friendly relationship between the two great nations than all the diplomatic manoeuvrings of the two Cabinets have been able to effect for the last twenty years. The Marquis of Dalmatia, the Marshal's eldest son, has been the most popular man of the Party at Liverpool and Manchester. He has been in England on previous occasion, and made his maiden speech in the English language on Friday night at the latter place. His frank and. cordial manners have made him deservedly a favourite with all classes, as his more intimate acquaintance with the character and genius of the people enables him with less effort to enter into their views and feelings. We shall give the conclusion of the Marshal's tour in our paper of to. morrow. We copy from the Morning Port the following description of the conduct of the post boys, who were animated with an emulous spirit of honour, which has very erroneously been supposed not to belong to the lower classes of our country. men : Especial trains, selected for their admirable appoint ments, were started for the occasion, and the ground between the termination of one part of the Railway and the commence. ment of the other,- was covered in a manner that looked as if horses were determined, in almost a last effort, to show that after all there was not quite the difference between animal end mechanical power that had been imagined. some amusing anecdotes were told me of the emulation that was always shown in another quarter—the rivalry as to which rider should exhibit the smartest scarlet jacket, or the most orthodox cords end tops, and the result was decidedly in favour of competi, tion as an actuating principle.

MURDER.— The office was crowded to excess this morning in consequence of the exa. mination of John Brown, who tern brought before Fir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE and Mr. BARLOW, charged with attempting to rob and murder Mr. John Senior, of No. 2, Noriand•place, Notting-hill, on Saturday afternoon, between the bouts of four and five o'clock. . Mr. Senior was not in attendance, owing to illness, produced by the wounds he had received in the groin and in one of his hands, in thrusting away the muzzle of one of the pistols presented at him by the villain by whom he was attacked. Ihe evidence of the complainant, however, had been taken on Saturday, immediately after the outrage, at the Pclice office, and it having been read over to the prisoner he was now asked if he had any person in attendance whom he wished to be examined. The prisoner's father, an elderly man, stood forward to give some ac count of his wretched son. From the old man's statement it appeared that the prisoner had recmtly returned from Spain, where he had been for some time in the service of the Queen, and that since he came back he had no regular employment, but was occasionally in service at different public houses. Owing, however, to the extraordinary manner in which lie was in the habit of conducting himself since his return to this country ; he (the father) thought frequently that his mind was deranged.• The father added that the prisoner had married a young woman on Easter Monday without having the means of supporting her, and this circum stance had strengthened the opinion in his (the father's) mind that his son was not right in his senses. Miss Auterac, by whom the prisoner had been stopped and robbed on the Wednesday preceding, identified him, and in answer to that charge the prisoner said that he had nothing to say in his defence. In answer to the interrogatories put to him by Sir John Scott Lillie the accused catered into a history - of his life up to the time of his ap prehension ; in the course of which he said that while in Spain he was taken prisoner by the Carlists at the battle of Fontarabia ; that he and two other Englishmen taken at the same time were sentenced to be shot, and were brought out fur that purpose. Just however when the sentence was about to be executed upon them, through the intercession of three English officers high in rank in the service of Don Carlos, he (the prisoner) and his companions were reprieve& and sent home through France.—The witnesses having been bound over, the prisoner was com mitted for trial to Newgate. It has been positively stated that the Earl of Dur ham has received secret instructions to come to a definitive arrangement of the boundary question with the American Government, in which event there wil be no occasion for the further intetference of the King of the Netherlands in this tzdions question.—Northern Herald. HAYMARKET THEATRE--A one act farce, called Neu, Notions, 'was produced at this theatre on Saturday evening, and very favourably received. Mr. Hill personated the hero, Major Wheeler, an American major, who can turn his hand (and brains alto) to any thing ; and who, finding business rather slack for a few weeks, thinks it may be a good speculation to visit the old country, and realise some. thing by inoctilating it with his new notions. These new notions gem brace the whole cir c l e o f arts an d manufactures, in every one of which he is for goin ahead. The fun is in the bouncing Americanisms of th e dialogue, and in th e qu i et manner, i n describable twan g , s hr e wd, sly, self-possessed uetl,asal e m to make our recollection of Mattfiews's xost pression of countenance of Mr. Hill.

PETERSBURGH, IN 1836, FROM THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT DEPOSITED IN THE SECRET ARCHIVES OF THE RUSSIAN COURT. " INTRODUCTION. " In delivering to the world - the following extraordinary document, taken at, great risk from the secret archives of the Russian Court, the editors are fully prepared to hear it treated as a fCrgery. Russia and her friends will never thre to avow but will seek by every means to throw doubts upon its authenticity, and brand, as impostors, all concerned in its publication. This is quite natural. Put, happily for the cacao of truth and justice, the bare denial of a criminal is not evidence of his innocence, especially in a case where the whole career of the criminal tends to confirm the accusation against him. " This plan for the partition of France is, or was in the year 1836, deposited at St. Petersburgh in the secret archives of the empire, marked No. 5,706, and endorsed ' France.' It was at that time in the custody -of Prince Orloff. The diffi- culty and danger of getting at a document of such importance was truly not inconsiderable, but the danger was set at de fiance, and the difficulty surmounted, and a copy made— by whom we are not at liberty to divulge, and if we were, would not under present circumstances, when he is in the power of the Russian Court, and the sacrifice of his life would ba the penalty. The inducement he had for so perilous a breach of trust may alao be demanded. Those who know the ,xtent of the bribery and corruption prevalent in Russia, from the highest to the lowest classes—from the judge upon the bench of justice to the meanest crier in his court, will not be ,at a loss to find a sufficient motive, even if a nobler one were wanting. " The original of the plan was written in French be diplomatic language of the Court of Carskoie Siello, as of all the rest of Europe. Some-of-the remarks in the margin were written in pencil, and some in ink—some of them in French, and some in Russian. The spirit which pervades them shows that they were written either by the Emperor or his confi dential advisers. The 'plan itself was, it appears, written by the. Emperor's orders in 1833. The name .of the author the copyist could not read, with the exception of the Christian name, In an, the rest being blotted, either by accident or de sign. Although written very elaborately and with astonish ,ing boldness, the vrguments it employs are not worthy of the name, and will be appreciated by the reader at their true value. Their sophistry and perversity are thoroughly Rus sian. Hardly any body could conceive such a plan but ,a sagacious Russian, or, as we are inclit,ed to think, a Russian - of foreign extraction utterly devoted to his Government, as the only engine in that country to raise any subject to high pro motion. The language itself shows that its author was not a Frenchman. Thera are some faults which we have left in tact; a few of them may be imputable to the transcriber, who was obliged to make his copy dictando, at very incon venient haste. _ _ " Since the time of Peter the Great, foreign adventurers have ruled the destinies of Russia, and have laid the founda• tion of her importance. But the melancholy fate of Osterman, Munich, Biren, and generally the proscription of all foreigners, effected by a bloody revolution of the natives, induced them to - chat - lee their policy. Instead of remaining in Russia, they enaeavoured ,to serve it abroad, and by occupying the Russian embassies secured their safety and their interest. Catherine the Second, of the house of, Anhalt Zerbst, very sagaciously made use of these resources to spread over Europe her fame and her influence. Her successors pursued the same policy. The best generals in the army of the Emperor Nicholas are men of German extraction, and his principal embassies are filled with foreigners. " The author of this plan for the confederation of Gaul seems to have been welt aware how much Russia is indebted for her grandeur and power to the efforts of foreigners. He suggests, in the 21st article, a means of attracting able and intelligent adventurers from France and England into the service of Russia, and the note appended to it shows the im portance given to it by the Emperor and his Ministers. " W e must here remind the reader of the frequent confer rences during late years of the Northern despots at Munchen grata, 'Foplitz, and Kalisch ; of the grand Russian military camps, at different points cf the empire, and of the extraor dinary visits of the Emperor, once to Vienna, many times to Berlin, and now lately to Stockholm, at a time too when his absence from St. Pctersburgh is of considerable, danger to hire. No French Amb as s a d or or Plen;potentiary was ever present at these conferences, and - very little communication was ever held with the English. During last year- a ll th e French journals, from th e Journal d es Debats, downwards, complained of the great number of Russians in tile country, supposed to be spies. We know on good authority that most of these travellers arc men of German extraction. We no ticed among them the learned Gretsch. It is a coincidence which will not fail to strike the reader's attention, that at the end of this plan is appended a note in which the Emperor orders the author a handsome gratuity, and money to pay his expense s during his travels in France. " The importance of this document grows infinitely when we consider, not only that it Ras written by order, of the Emperor, but it is consistent with the policy of his predecessors and the spirit of his people. The Rus sian Government depends solely upon foreign conquests for its stability. The phant o m o f g l or y dazzles the eyes of the people, and suppresses the domestic earthquake. The Russians think that they are the first people in the world —they dream cf dominion over the globe—it is their poetry. But, it is not natural for a nation in slavery to be still for ever; it is not natural that after baring gathered laurels abroad, they should go patiently home again and resume their chains. \Vnr, then, abroad, is the very element for the Russian people and Government—for the people, because their self-love is . . flattered by conquest, and because they have not leisure to ruminate upon their own abasement—and for the Government, because it is the only means_ of self-preservation. _ • Russia, since the days of Catherine II , has nearly tripled her Eu ropean population (from 22,000,000 to 56.000,000), and that, mainly by foreign conquest, by detaching large pros inces from her neighbours, Sweden, Denmark, and Persia : she nearly dismembered Turkey, and blotted out of the map of Euro; e the heroic Poland, her powerful rival among the Sciavonic races. Now she would grasp at France. 6 , Extraordinary as this plan may appear, let those who may feel inclined to doubt its authenticity remember that Russia, in the reign of Catherine 11., actually formed a plan for the dismemberment of China. This plan, deposited in the archives of Siberia, was taken away, and communicated by the cele brated warrior Bieniowski to the Duke de Choiseul, at that time the head of the Ministry in France, and by him to the Emperor of China. Many other symptoms of the all-grasping ambitionof,Russia have been noticed by the public journals of this country. Her ill-suppressed views with regard to British India are no secret to any one. We challenge the living diplomatists of this country and of France, and all persons initiated in these matters, whether at the settlement of Europe after the fall of Napoleon, Russia did not intimate to her allies the policy of dismembering France altogether? 6 , \VC have nothing more to add. Let statesmen pause well ere they are led to incredulity by the extravagance of the docement, which we now deliver for their instruction. Let Russia and her organs sneer or fume as they will, its publica cation will at least effect some good, if it only teaches Europe to look with an ad ditional feelin g aa d mistrust upon a power which cannot be to much mistrusted. " London, July, 1838." ,g A r t. I. That for the future the French people shell form a Gaulish c onfederation after the model of that of Germany, without any diminution of the limits which the Congress of Vienna and subsequent treaties have laid down for France. "2. Desiring to ally its happiness with th at o f Europe, the imprescriPtible rights of its independence with the exi. gencics of the age, the service rendered t o i ts ex i stence by the different states, and the legitimate rights of different Princes, we divide the Gaulish confederation as follows 3 . Avignon and Venaisson, comprising Orange, shall be surrendered to his Holiness the Pope, seeing that he has for a long time shown his devotedness to the Conservative cause, and his hatred to rebellion' in every country. We surrender these to him to make the church of our Saviour triumph, and its faith become more firm among the French people. His Holiness shall build at Rome a Basilic for the orthodox Greek worship, to serve as a model of tolerance to all nations, and l ik e t h a t which prospers already in Russia, where, mo sques and synagogues stand side by side with Greek and Roman churches. 4. The King of Spain, Charles V., shall obtain Navarre and Gascony, as far as the Garonne, with the exception of Bordeaux and Medoc. The King of Portugal, Don Miguel, shall have Corsica. The King of Naples, Ferdinand, shall have Marseilles, with all that part of Provence lying south of the Durance. They shall all be free to give to their divisions the liberal institutions which they may judge in unison with their policy. " 5. Le Bresse and Le Lugay shall be restored to the King of Sardinia. He shall besides obtain all the country between the Rhone and the Durance, under the name of Gresivadant and Valentinois, except Vienne and a circle of three leagues around it. The Allied Powers recommend the King of Sardinia to give quite a republican constitution to this State, whose inhabitants are well known - for their attach ment to freedom. --- "6. Switzerland shall be erected into a kingdom, of which Berne . shall be th e cap i ta l, i n f avour o f the House of Austria. This kingdom shall be augmented by Franche Comte, which shall take the organization of an additional Canton. " 7. The Grand Duke of Baden shall cede to the King of Wurternberg the province of Seelac, and the German Con federation that of Alain and Tamber, in order to facilitate the indemnities to, and exchange with, the Hessians and the Nas saux, which are to be afterwards determined by the Diet of Frankfort. IHe shall obtain the whole of Alsatia, and take the regal title which is due to him. " 8. The King of Bavaria shall cede to the King of Wur temberg the southern moiety of the Upper Danu,be, as well as Ulm. * shall remain in the possession of Bavaria. The King will obtain nearly the whole of Lorraine, with the towns of Met z an d Nancy, which, conjointly with Rhenish Bavaria, shall form states under the names of the Lorraiues. Their inhabitants being greatly renowned for their love of liberty, the protecting Powers solicit the King of Bavaria to give them a corresponding constitution. " 9. Lille and Artois shall be restored to the kingdom of the Netherlands, as they anciently made part of Flanders, The King of the Netherlands shall g ive up the whole of Luxemburg to Prussia, and shall cease to belong to the Ger manic Confederation. In exchange be shall obtain all the Cambraisis, and all the country as far a; the Aisne, compris ing Noyon and Lana. This country to re-assume its ancient appellation of the Vermandois. " 10. Luxemburg, and all the country in the possession of of the Netherlands and of Bavaria as far as the Seine, shall be united to Prussia, under the names of the Ardennes and Champagne, Rheims, Verdun, Soissons, Chalons-sur-Marne, Troyes, Langres, Meaux, Melun, except the territory of Paris and of Sens. This occupation will be of peculiar advantage to the Gaulish Confederation, becacee one of its most Pow er ful protectors being himself a part of the Confederation, will be more able to watch over the stability of its organization. This country shall have such institutions as may be granted by the magnanimity of his Prussian Majesty. " Great Britain lust be content with Calais and Bou logne, which she shalrpossess as an indemnity for her generous concessions to the general „ " 12. The rest of Fra.r A r!il remain suijuris in the pos. session of its natives, viz. " 13. Considering the services which the Prince de Tal. leyrand- Perigord in his long career has rendered to the peace ful policy of the Holy Alliance, and to all the dynasties which have governed France for 80 years, we restore to him Perigueux and all Perigord, and erect them into an indepen dent State. He shall possess it as Sovereign, he and his de scendants, if it shall please him by forming a new matrimo nial alliance to procure male successors. If Providence rules it otherwise, he may dispose of Perigord in favour of his family, and shall determine by will one of the Talleyrands to become the chief of a new dynasty. " 14. Lyons, with a circle of three leagues around it, and Paris, with a territory of four leagues to the north of the Seine, shall be republics, to serve as models for all the others which the policy of the Confederation may judge it convenient to establish. " 15. In taking under our peculiar protection the legiti macy of France, it is our desire to re-establish the elder branch of the Bourbons in all its ancient splendour. H's Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias has destined one of his daughters to Henry V., the hope of France, and we re cognise his sacred rights to the sovereignty. But respect- Mg the consequence of irnprescriptible legitimacy, which no violence has been able to weaken, we preserve the Royal title to our brother Charles the Tenth, and: destine for him during the term of his natural life the possession of Burgundy, where he will reside at Dijon. The presumptive heir to this kingdom shall be Louis Duke of Aresouleme. We have deemed it fitti ng t o h onour t h e sa id Duke of e Angou leme with the Royal title in order not to prejudice the royalty of the Duke of Bordeaux, who will bear it prematurely. The Duke of Angoulerne, King, shall reside at Toulouse, and shall possess that capital for life with Narbonne and all the country as far as the Pj renec s, under the name of the Tolosan. This fine t"rritory is assigned to him in commemoration of his heroic exploits in Spain. It will be agreeable to him .to be the neighbour of that country where he acquired his glory, and to the Spaniards to see upon their frontier the hero who rendered them so many. eminent services. • " There shall then be, for the present, three King s o f F rance the elder. each independent of the other, viz., Charles X., Louis XIX., and Henry V. " 17. The possessions of Henry V. shall for the present he Brittany, La Vendee, with Angers and Tours, Berri ' La Bour bonnais, Guienn e w ith B or d eaux an d Illedoc,, Languedoc, Auvergne, and the town of Vienne with a circle of three leagues on the east of the Rhone, bearing tho name of Le Dauphine. He shall also possess the Gatinois, beginning from the mouth of the canal Briare, Sens, Cbateaudun, Chsr tree, Fontainbleau, Rambouillet, and Versailles. His capital shall be Bourges. After the decease of the King, his grand father and uncle, Burgundy and the Tolosan shall be re-united _ _ for ever to the States of Henry V., upon condition that these provinces shall always send their own representatives to_ the Diet of the Confederation. 18. Seeing . that Louis Phillippe do Bourbon, of the younger branch, has rendered imperishable ser vices to humanity, in bearing himself so loyally in the catastrophe of July, as well as by his sincerity and his repentance when he threw himself into our arms, he shall enjoy for himself and his posterity the title of King of the French, and shall fix his residence at Rouen. His throne shall be surrounded with Republican institutions, with a charter and :an opposition duly established. He shall have all Normandy,.the affection of which he has gained by his former travels among the people, and shall be of the Fort St. Michel. We add Amiens and Beauvais, Perche, • tl Vendome, Blois, and Orleans, with a territory under the name of the Orleanais. He shall undertake to construct at his own expense the three detached forts near Paris, to pre serve the peace. He shall be at liberty whenever he pleases to demand from the Diet the indemnities which may be justly due for his priVate possessions. . " 19. An exact map shall be drawn up of this par tition, in order to avoid mistakes, similar to those which took place in 1772 and 1775 on the first division of the Republic of Poland. The three Powers shall besides delegate their Plenipotentiaries to see that no encroachments are made on the reciprocal limits of the States. " 20. Every Frenchman is free to establish himself in such portion of the Confederation as he may think proper, or as shall agree best with his inclination, his interest or his convic tion. The Republican will . help to people Paris and Lyons, another being attached to the doctrine of the charter will esta blish himself in France the younger ; the legitimatist in France the elder. If he be a Carlist, and rigid observer'of the sacred right of the last living King, he will establish himself in Bun- gtindy. If he be an — Henr‘icluinquist be will live tinder the sway of Henry V. In fine, those who disapprove of all these will find in these States which Providence his confided to the sceptre of foreign Kings all the different shades (nuances) which suit them. • " 21. All the discontented who may wish to labour in the cause of the human race shall have free scope under the auspices of the Emperor of all the Russias, who will form a separate corps, under the command of a French General, to conquer the barbarians of Asia, and propagate therein the civilization of Europa and the religion of Christ. The learned of France and missionaries from all countries inspired to preach the divine word, are invited to share in this mission, the more honourable because it is difficult and perilous. They shall be received under the special protection of his Imperial Majesty. " 22. Seeing that all late inquiries upon commerce and in dustry are decidedly in favour of the prohibitive system, custom-houses shall be established on the frontiers of all the states of the Gaulish Confederation, in order that industry may prosper; the Diet shall immediately take ecgnivince cf this matter. " 23. The liberty of the press and of speech is guaranteed to all the states of the Confederation. Literary piracies shall be for ever repressed by means of a severe decree against re printing in foreign countries any French work, with the excep tion of those which the Government of St. Petvsburgh may desire to purchase from the authors to animate selence and the belles leltres. It ir, however, recomnzrnded to the Govern ment of the Confederation that they should not encourage men of letters of a perverse spirit, to whom are to be imputed all the excesses of the revolution. Let the words of Massillon which he addresses to the patrons of such people be for ever engraved upon their memory : It is you alone,' says he, who give lascivious poets r.nd pernicious authors to the world; it is to please you that these corruptors of the public morals bring their talents to perfection, and seek their elevation and for One by a success, which has for its object the loss of souls. It is through your means that the people participate in these disorders. These dangerous authors, whom you honour with protection, will pass into the hands of your children and ' grandchildren, and the venom which they bear will be carried from age to age.' " 24. To give a national unity and consistency to the Con federation of Gaul, a permanent Diet shall he held, to sit al ternately at Paris and Versailles. The eighteen Confederate States shall send their Plenipotentiaries, and the Diet shall immediately commence its labours under the Presidency of the Prince tie Perigord. The following is the number of 79 votes divided amongst them : " 1. Calais and Boulogne (England) 2 " 2. Artois and Vermandois (Netherlands) 4 " 3. Ardennes and Champagne ( Prussia) ... 8 " 4. French Loraine (Bavaria) " 5. Alsatia (Baden) 2 " 6. Franche Comte ( Switzerland) " 7. Gresivauden and Valeutinois ( Sardinia) " 8. Provence (Naples) 9. Corsica (Portugal) 2 " 10.

France the Elder, with Bourges the capital " 18. The Prince of Perigord " 25. The three protectors of the Confederation, eager to insure the happiness of this great people, will prescribe with short delay the mode of sitting of the Federal Diet, and will submit several political questions to its deliberation. 26. To secure the peace of Europe, consolidate the new order of things, and guarantee its own independence, the Gaulish Confederation shall conclude a treaty offensive and defensive with the three Allied Powers, the conditions of which shall be separately set forth. In virtue of this treaty the Allied Powers shall be obliged to furnish twice as many contingencies as the Confederation, in case of any demand from a contracting party. In the mean time Russian and Austrian garrisons shall enter several towns of the Confede ration with the most amicable intention, until the Federal Diet, having taken the necessary measures, shall demand their evacuation. " 27. In remembrance of the establishment of the Confederation, a monument shall be erected at the Tuileries. The two Republics shall every year cele brate the anniversary of that event, and that epoch, for ever memorable, and shall give the most brilliant festival possible to the people. The Academy of Inscriptions and Bylles Lettres shall take charge of the epigraphs and in_ scriptions, and will announce besides the prizes to be given for the best work on the stability of the new order of things. " 28. Insteadof indemnities for the enormous ex p enses o f the last , expedition, Russia will be contended with a portion of the pictures in the gallery of the Tuileries, the Museum, and the duplicates in the Royal Library. His Majesty . the Emperor of all th e R uss i as w ill accept t h em as a gift film the French people, and will make use of them as a meant extending the civilization of the West towards Asia. In his disinterestedness he will reserve to himself no share, no mote, no political ad vantage. He will be contented with the glory of being the pacificator of a great people, of expressing his friendship to wards them, and of preserving them from every attack which might overthrow their happiness. In spite of perverse jour nalists, he only seeks to extirpate the germs of destructive war, in , uniting together all nations, by the benefits ofciviliza- tion and knowledge, and to make known that magimnimity dwells alongside of his colossal power.

From the complete SUCCOS3 which Las attended the experi mental voyages of this vessel, the public interest seems to be more widely and deeply extended ; at all events it is not won derful that such should be the case here, " the city of her birth," and we have good grounds for concluding that the t * feeling in general in the fact that at every trip her freight is more and more valuable. A large quantity of luggage, and a few of the passengers, were put on board early this morning. In the evening, at five o'clock, we accompanied the bulk of the passengers on board the Cambria, from the Stotwells to Kingroad, where the Great Western was lying. At eight o'clock she got under weigh, and after three times three hearty cheers given from the friends of the passengers end Directors on board the Cambria, St. David, and other packets, and returned in the same manner from the passengers and crew of the Western, we went a few miles a-head. In a very short time she passed us, giving and receiving one more long, lingering cheer, and was quickly out of sight, moving down the channel at the rate of nine pr ten miles an hour. Since her return voyoge the builder, Mr. Patterson, has been busily engaged in fitting up a " Round House" on deck, which affords sleeping berths to 24 more passengers, and it is wonderful that in so short a time the work could have been completed so as to present all the superior comforts found in every Fart of this vessel. But the best evidence of her supe rior advantages in every respect is to be found in the fact that every berth is taken, and all the space allotted to goods is crammed full. There were several applicants after she was full, who were much di , 7appriinted, amongst them were some from London and from Liverpool. She carries upwards of 120 passengers, amongst whdrn arc Colonel Webb, Editor of the New York Courier, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Matthews (Madame Vestris), Mr. Power, Mr. Peake, several silk merchants from Lyons, and a great many American passengers, several of whom came in a fortnight since, and have done all their business, and are now on their way borne. She has also a very valuable cargo of light or measurement goods, consisting of upwards of 200 boxes of silks of the newest patterns, a great part of which is exported from Lyons ; also several boxes containing splendid silk shawls; and a quantity of silk lace of several hundred pounds in value. Her cargo is estimated at 20,0001. value, every' nook and cranny where goods could be stowed being filled. She is two or three feet deeper in the water than she was on the last voyage out. the carriess despatches for Lord Durham, and there were 3,180 letters from the Post-office, and about 5,000 from that of the Great Western ; also about 2,000 newspapers, and a great number of small parcels ; besides which the passengers' luggage was sufficient to freight a small steamer. One of the passengers has taken out a large package of the " Golden Sun," upon which he calculates to a "pretty con siderable profit I guess." There was a renewed demand in Bristol for the " Golden Sun," every passenger was anxious to obtain a copy. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) - PORTSHEAD, JIILY 22.—1 have great pleasure in informing you that the "Great Western" kept her time, and was as full of passengers as she could be. A now set of twenty-four sleep ing places have been arre.oged on the quarter-deck, in conse quence of which about one hundred and twenty persons will sit down to their meals the grand saloon every day, which is the number on board, exclusive of servants. Such of the lower cabins as are not occupied by the latter are let as whole cabins for one fare. Including the crew, the ship has more than 200 persons.on board, and a rich freight in valuable dry goods. She went away in very good trim, and the passengers in very excellent spirits. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews (ci devant Vestris), Mr. Power, • and several French persons of musical and dramatic talents, were en board, with Mr. Maywood, the manager of the Philadelphia Theatre. At Ten a.m., the first steamer, with sixty passengers and their lugage, came off, and at half-past seven p.m. two others, with the remainder. At eight the ship went off, amid the cheers of hundreds in the Cambria, Rodney, David, Tygres and Lyon steamers, the Victory, Osprey, and Bristol starting full of people a little before her. The shore of Ports- head lined with spectators, waving and cheering quite as much es on the first trip. Guns were fired from the steamers and from the battery. Considering that the weather has been very bad, and that the new cabins had to be put up, as well as cargo to be landed and coals got in, the getting the ship ready for sea in a road,tead is certainly an unparalleled effort. At no time have there been less than 100 workmen on board. IRELAND.

INFORMATIONS AGAINST UPWARDS OF THREE ITUNDR:2:I3 ORANGEMEN. —The Evening Mail has bad the hardihood ta assert that there were no processions on the recent Orange anniversaries—.that the Orangemen obeyed the law, and that the proceedings of the Government with regard to the pro cessions have turned out a failure. The filso.hood is asserted, after the published and uncoatradicted statements of the vio lation of the law, in almost every village and hamlet of Ulster, by multitudes of Orangemen marching in procession, with music and banners—after the gross outrage at Cookstown, recorded in the Mai/ itself as a proof of the state of the country, where the Orangemen assailed and disarmed the police ; and after the desecration of so many churches of the Establishment by the exhibition of factious emblems, tending to perpetuate discord amongst the Queen's subjects. The truth is That, on no former occasion, since , the institution of the treasonable confederacy, has there been so general a dispo sition systematically to resist the law, as during the recent anniversaries. The Dublin Eveniug Post, whose brief and well-merited castigation of a Contemporary characterised by the habitual violation of truth we have copied, than proceeds to show, by a reference to actual occurrences and undisputed facts, that it was not alone the low and ignorant Orangemen, but indivi duals highly connected, who appeared in the processions, and have been held amenable to stand their trial at the Assizes. The Post in conclusion observes:—" To sum up—there are already upwards of TIIREE HUNDRED ORANGEMEN charged, upon sworn informations, with violating the law on the Ist and 12th of July. There were, of course, many thousands equally guilty, whom the police were unable to recognise."

For tunately, two gentlemen were passing at the time, and hastened to the assistance of the pasty, the whole of whom they happily succeeded in rescuing at the moment of sinking.—Bristol Mercury. Fresh herrings were selling in Kilmarnock on Tues day last a dozen for sixpence. Owing to the rapidity of steam intercourse the butchers begin to be afraid that when the weather becomes cooler, we shall begin to eat American as well as Scotch mutton. THE SIBERIAN COW PARSNlP.—Perhaps one of the most magnificent plants that we ever have had the opportunity of seeing, is the specimen of the above, now in full flower in Callendar gar den. In a botanical point it is equally curious and interesting, while it may become of great value and importance to the agriculturalist. Its height is eleven feet, and the circumference of the whole plant forty-. nine feet. It is equally early and hardy, having grown some inches under the snow in the late severe winter. Its immense quantity of foliage, produced at an early season, would excellently fit it as food for cattle at that period. When standing beneath its splendid umbrella-like top, one can fancy himself amid the gorgeous vegetation of South Ame rica, while with the stateliness of a tree it bas al! the fragility of some water plant. —Falkirk Correspondent of Vic Scotsman.

'rile Duke de Nemours arrived on Wednesday evening at Boulogne.sur.Mer, from London, on board the Magna, after a passage of 1 I hours. All the population of Boulogne, both French and English, may be said to have flocked down to the quay to receive his Royal Highness; the throng was tremendous, and their cheers were loud and unanimous as he landed. His Royal Highness conversed for some time with the Mayor and other authorities of the town on its state acid prospects. The Prince left for Paris the same evening at half-past 10, and arrived yesterday (Thursday) afternoon at Neuilly, where, as the Debuts remarks, the whole of the Royal Family are now assembled for the first time since the Revolution of July.

The Scrubs of the Bath Press would, no doubt, in a similar fright, tell their terrors in the very same forms of words.
